After months of sewing the the cutest blocks, we are finally ready to show off our final Back to School with Pam Kitty Love quilt. Our final project, you could say. Kimberly, Debbie and Pam are finally ready to turn them in! These sampler quilts are made with block patterns from Barbara Brackman's Civil War Sampler in cheerful Pam Kitty Love fabric by Pam Kitty Morning for LakeHouse Dry Goods. The combination was just perfect and we ended up with two adorable, but very different quilts! Take a look.

Kimberly used a bunch of brightly colored Pam Kitty Love prints, with many blues, yellows and pinks in her mix. The quilt came out cheerful and with a retro vibe. The blocks are so sweet and would make adorable pillows, tablerunners and smaller baby quilts, too.

Debbie's quilt is much more dramatic! She used the bolder black prints, which make the blocks pop and really draw your attention in. Debbie also chose two black prints for the inner and outer border for an even bigger dramatic effect. We just love this quilt and can not look away! Take a minute to just stare at it, we know you want to!

We love how differently the quilts turned out. While the Civil War Sampler blocks are traditional and historic, the variety of prints and colors used allow each one to stand out and look completely unique. We had so much fun creating these quilts and hope that everyone else who joined in did too. You can see all of the block photos over on Flickr. Don't forget to pop over to Pam's blog to see her final quilt!

To round out the Back to School with Pam Kitty Sew Along in style, we are ending with a giveaway! Sweet Things, the latest collection from LakeHouse Dry Goods, recently arrived and is as cute as can be. We know you will love sewing with Sweet Things! We are offering one lucky winner a fat quarter bundle of Sweet Things to brighten up your stash! Leave a comment below letting us know which bundle you would choose and what you would make with it for a chance to win! Contest closes Monday July 22, 2013. Good luck!UPDATE: Barbara of Pointless Quilter has been chosen as our lucky winner! She won a Donut Sweet Things Fat Quarter Bundle by Holly Holderman for LakeHouse Dry Goods. Congrats!

They are all adorable! SO hard to pick one...either Tart or Donut maybe...right...that's not one, is it? I guess Chocolate would be interesting. A different angle on a fun summer quilt.Thanks for the chance to win.

Hi There!I would choose the Pastry Sweet Things Fat Quarter Bundle! I love love love the pinks! Well, actually, I love them all and it was a difficult choice. I would choose Modern Butterfly as the project to make with the bundle as my super-awesome step-daughter is cookoo crazy about butterflies right now and I love to see her smile!Thanks for the amazing give-a-way!!!Melanie

I would choose the Vanilla Sweet Things. What a soft set of prints! I have a new baby granddaughter that needs a snuggle quilt out of it! Thanks for such beautiful fabric and a chance to win some! Love your website.

Great quilts! I love them both.I think the "Pastry Sweet Things" would make a very sweet quilt for a little girl in the hospital - very cheery, and of course...it's PINK!Thanks, you are great!debnydegger@hotmail.com

I would choose Tart Sweet Things and make a set of reusable gift bags from them. The set has patterns that seem suitable for both boys and girls, and I have two boys and two girls that I regularly gift.

Both of your quilts are beautiful. I never would have thought how different they would be using the same collection. I must get Barbara Brackman's book. As for the bundles, I would choose the chocolate sweet things and get pieces from the other bundles to make a little girl's quilt.

I would choose the purples in the Sundae Sweet Things bundle as it is my granddaughter's favourite colour. I would love to make her a quilt to go in her bedroom in the new house she is about to move into.

I love both of yalls quilts and Pam's quilt. It finally stopped raining enough for me to get a picture of my flimsy. Can't wait to get it quilted. This hop has been so much fun. I think Sweet Things would be great in a Civil war sampler too!

I love Sweet Things and want them all, but if I have to choose 1 , I would pick Tart sweet things - looks like a Granny Smith Aple to me! I can always use more green in my stash!jan@sewandsowfarm

They are all very cute but since I'm making my 3rd of 5 baby quilts in the orange/aqua family (apparently those are the "in" colors for a little girl nursery) I need more orange/ tangerine/ clementine/ coral fabrics to sew with! :)

I'm getting hungry just thinking about all these cute little bundles! Gee, how do you choose between awesome and awesome? Well, I'm thinking purple is catching my eye, so how about the Sundae Bundle. Now what would I do with it? I think I'd make a bag or two. I'm needing some storage bags and they sure would be cute in the purple! Thanks for the opportunity!

I'd choose the tart bundle. I've been looking for a bundle to make Elizabeth Hartman's valentine quilt to use as a picnic blanket. What gorgeous colors and theme for spring and summer days with the kids at the park. Thanks for the inspiration!

Both versions turned out beautifully! It's hard to choose a favorite bundle of Sweet Things because they're all just adorable. My favorite would have to be Tart Sweet Things which reminds me of tart granny smith Apple's. The bundle would definitely have to be paired with Chocolate Sweet Things.

I would choose pastry because my daughter is all pink all the time. I might mix it up with chocolate though, because that just sounds good. I've been wanting to try one of the patterns in the Angles with Ease book, or maybe the Strawbrry social pattern.

I would choose the Sundae Sweet Thing bundle -- my favorite color is purple. But I would use the fabrics to make a quilt for a young couple having their first baby. Thanks for the giveaway!k.castanette@hotmail.com

I would choose Vanilla sweet things bundle. My children are foster parents and I make a special quilt for every foster child that comes to us. I would use it for that. I have been in love with this line since I first saw it!!!!

Being an orange fan, I would choose the Donut Sweet things, then I would use them to make a children's quilt that I would send to Calgary, Alberta to be donated to a family that lost everything in the recent floods.

Wow, such beautiful quilts! Just gorgeous, great job! I would have to pick the Donut bundle, I have been on an orange kick here lately and Idon't know why, I have never really cared for orange at all but now I love it! Orange and Purple, seems so colorful rich to me! Thanks for the generous giveaway :)

Well talk about impossible situations...I have six granddaughters, and there is a collection perfect for each one! I found that I couldn't just choose one for the project (tote bags) that I had in mind, so I flipped a coin (several times) and came up with the Tart collection, for a tote bag for me.
